Introduction
The art of media planning has evolved over the years. From silo or channel planning where media was guided only by the most competitive guided by data, to multi-channel planning where media is viewed as distinct, guided by the Target Audience (TA) lifestyle to integrated where media is viewed as complementary and guided by insights ( data and TA).
With a strong focus on current shifts and changes in consumer media behaviour, this course ensures media planners combine creative thinking with factual analysis to develop appropriate strategies to ensure that campaigns reach their target audiences as effectively as possible
